Par­ents and stu­dents get­ting ready to face the Sec­ondary En­trance As­sess­ment (SEA) in Au­gust, are get­ting ac­cess to much-need­ed ac­cess to free study ma­te­ri­als in prepa­ra­tion for the ex­am.

A team of stu­dents and teach­ers from var­i­ous U.S. uni­ver­si­ties have part­nered with The Caribbean Voice (TCV) to pro­vide the study ma­te­ri­als.  The team, known as the Caribbean Ed­u­ca­tion Project (CEP), has pub­lished learn­ing re­sources ac­ces­si­ble via an on­line plat­form.

In ad­di­tion, CEP is dis­trib­ut­ing print­ed copies of these re­sources, im­ple­ment­ing nov­el file-shar­ing so­lu­tions to com­mu­ni­ties lack­ing in­ter­net ac­cess and pro­vid­ing live sup­port through Face­book Mes­sen­ger and What­sApp to those re­quir­ing ad­di­tion­al as­sis­tance.

In a news re­lease is­sued by The Caribbean Voice, the Pres­i­dent An­nan Boodram states that the or­gan­i­sa­tion al­so is at­tempt­ing to reach stu­dents who may not have in­ter­net ac­cess.

“Stu­dents lack­ing In­ter­net ac­cess are at a greater dis­ad­van­tage with­out the on­line re­sources made avail­able by var­i­ous Min­istries of Ed­u­ca­tion and oth­er stake­hold­ers,” he points out. “CEP/TCV are look­ing for lo­cal con­tacts to ad­vise on the best means of de­vel­op­ing and dis­trib­ut­ing the re­sources and to as­sist in mak­ing the re­sources as wide­ly avail­able as pos­si­ble. We are seek­ing busi­ness­es will­ing to pro­vide free or low-cost print­ing and dis­tri­b­u­tion of the print­ed ma­te­ri­als to stu­dents in need of them. In­ter­est­ed busi­ness­es should con­tact CEP or TCV if you can help on any of these fronts,” he adds.

The free ex­am­i­na­tion prepa­ra­tion ma­te­ri­als can be ac­cessed at the fol­low­ing web­site: caribed.org.

The TCV pres­i­dent is urg­ing schools and teach­ers to ac­cess and use the ma­te­ri­als to help their stu­dents pre­pare for the ex­am.

“Min­istries of ed­u­ca­tion across the re­gion are in­vit­ed to uti­lize the re­sources to sup­ple­ment what is cur­rent­ly be­ing of­fered, as well as sug­gest any changes to max­i­mize the im­pact of the re­sources,” he says.

For more in­for­ma­tion, or to be­come a lo­cal part­ner, in­ter­est­ed par­ties are asked to:

-  reach out to CEP’s Shawn Shiv­dat via Face­book Mes­sen­ger, or via +14044069638 on What­sApp

-  con­tact TCV pres­i­dent, An­nan Boodram, on Face­book Mes­sen­ger, or via 646-461-0574 on What­sApp

-  con­tact TCV via email to carib­voice@aol.com
